Snap-shots of (top) 500 mb temperature and (bottom) SST and sea-ice in an Aquaplanet simulation.

A few movies:

• a nice movie showing the synoptic scale activity in the atmosphere of an Aquaplanet and its impact on the air-sea heat flux and mixed layer depth,

• a similar movie for an Aquaplanet with an obliquity of 90 degree (compare to the present-day value of 23.45 degree in the movie above).

• this one shows a Ridge World driven through its 3 stable equilibria by a linearly decreasing solar constant: the ice edge “sticks” around the equilibrium positions for decades and abruptly transition between positions. More details here.
